Testimony of OTSW participant from UPH ? Roselyn Prima Winata (Law 2011)

The OTSW program has given me a chance to experience the role of Indonesia?s diplomacy representatives. It was truly an honor to be chosen as a young diplomat to promote Indonesia in the eyes of the world alongside my other 20 outstanding OTSW friends. This visit has made my nationalism and optimism towards Indonesia to be stronger than before because it shows that the Government of Indonesia is very aware with the development of its young generation. In this program, participants were given the stage to be confident of themselves when showing the amazing talents that the students of Indonesia have. Additionally, through my visit to UK, I was able to perceive Indonesia in a new light; because UK sees Indonesia as the leading country that sets into motion the gear of international economy.
